Spybot s&d warning!
Anyone running spybot s&d be warned, don't let it delete 'hellzlittlespy' from your system.....it's needed to log on to windows and you'll not be able to get into your system once you log off/shut down.....I'm still tying to get a repair that works on mine (I'm on draco's at the mo...). It seems there is a bug in their latest upgrade.....

Be careful when it deletes hamsterductapesex.dll too, it's closely tied in with some essential operating components.

hellzlittlespy is a keylogger is it not?
Hardly the fault of Spybot if your PC is infested with nasty crap that reconfigures your system files.

If you have the original Windows disc I'd try and do a repair install. If you don't have anything critical on your PC you could just reformat your drive and do a clean install if all else fails. (I'm presuming you don't have a back up image of your hard drive?)

?? just read the link and it refers to an older versions on spybot, I am lost as to where the problem is.
Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

I goggled it (The amount of hits from Google are tiny), That's how I knew it was a keylogger, I would assume (yeah shoot me, I make assumptions) That just like the other billion such incidents with other items of malicious code, The key logger has integrated itself into the registry and boot files in such a way that removing it breaks the system.
Nothing new there, Nortons made billions from the exact same practise.
And its slightly different series of events then Spybot falsly identifying ajnd removing a required system file, But anything is possible.

yep, that's the trouble...mind you, a few issues like this and you can start to see the benefits.....
Have you tried to do a repair install? Worth a crack if you haven't tried it as you'll keep all your files (unless it all goes horribly wrong etc...though this is rare)

A Little Info
This problem with a false positive for "hellzlittlespy" occured in July 2008 for those Spybot users who did not upgrade their version from 1.3. The removal deleted a registry setting referred to during the boot up procedure.
Check your version by opening Spybot and going to Help>About on the menu bar. The latest version is 1.6. If you are still running 1.3, upgrade NOW to avoid more false positives.
If anyone with Spybot 1.5.2 onwards gets a positive for this, I would suggest checking with the forums at the Spybot website before attempting to remove the keylogger. Search on Google and you can find a number of removal instructions for the real "hellzlittlespy."
Always keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware products up to date.
